Great Song Pirate

Chapter 417
Although the guards on the watchtower kept shooting arrows down, it can be said that the arrows were never in vain. For these unarmed prisoners of war, their arrows were deadly arrows, but they had limited manpower. There were too many arrows. Although there were quite a few arrows shot, it felt like a drop in the bucket. There were too many Annan prisoners pouring out of the hut, rushing towards the gate like a torrent.

There were only a few Fubo soldiers guarding the gate. Although they fought desperately to intercept and killed many rioting Annan prisoners, they were finally submerged by the torrent, and the gate fell instantly. The prisoners of war rushed to the pier.

A patrol team was the first to react. Under their leadership, ten Fubo soldiers immediately lined up on the road, raised their spears, and aimed at the source of the roar, but their way When the weak line of defense faced the impact of thousands of Annan prisoners of war, there was nothing they could do. After holding on for a few breaths, after killing some of the prisoners who rushed up, they were immediately sucked in. The crazy prisoners of war used their hands The crude wooden sticks were desperately smashed on the soldiers of the Fubo Army who blocked the way, beating them to death, then snatching their weapons, and rushing towards the pier again. When things developed to this point, all the prisoners of war You know, if you can't capture a few warships of the Skeleton Army today, they will definitely all die here.

The desire to survive drove them crazy, and there was no turning back. Now it was too late for them to say anything, and the only way to survive was to rush to the pier and seize the boat immediately. At this time, the desire to live had become all their motivation. The prisoners of war, who were as docile as sheep these days, went completely crazy. They all rushed towards the pier, and the alarm bell on the watchtower of the prisoner-of-war camp behind them was still ringing hurriedly.

Many people in the barracks on the island were awakened from their dreams by the rapid sound of the alarm bell. Many people did not understand where the sudden alarm sound came from, so they hurriedly put on their clothes, grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the camp. He had also rested, but when he heard the rapid alarm bell, he got up in a jiffy, put on his boots without saying a word, and without thinking about putting on his armor, he grabbed his big gun and rushed forward like flying. When he got out of his tent, he stood outside the tent and listened, his face changed drastically, and seeing that many of his men had woken up and rushed out of the tent, he immediately yelled loudly: "Beat the drums and line up! The prisoners of war have rioted! Take Your weapons, immediately follow me to stop them!"

At this time, the soldiers who followed him immediately flew away, and after a while, there was a burst of excited drums in the camp, and the infantry troops immediately showed the results of their usual drills. They have practiced for such an emergency gathering at night. So after hearing the sound of drumming, they didn't panic, but according to their usual drills, they immediately started to grab their weapons one after another, and concentrated towards their predetermined location. They assembled into a square formation, and rushed out of the camp following Yang Zaixing who had already mounted his horse.

Xu Yi was also awakened from his dream by the rapid sound of the alarm bell. A carp immediately jumped up, habitually reached out and grabbed the Broken Wolf Sword by the bedside, put on a fancy dress and rushed out of his bed. At this time, Li Bo, Daniu, Cui Yan and others had already brought their personal guards to protect his big tent. At this time, the drums of war in the camp had already sounded. After seeing Xu Yi, Li Bo immediately Reported: "Sir, my lord! The alarm bell came from the prisoner-of-war camp. It may be that the prisoners of war rioted. Commander Yang has already started the whole team to suppress it!"

Xu Yi listened carefully to the noisy roar outside, and immediately said angrily: "Order Yang Zaixing, order him to stop these damned Annan people outside the pier for me, and let me kill all the prisoners of war who participated in the riot." Guang, if there is a prisoner of war who participated in the riot alive before dawn, I will only ask him!"

Cui Yan immediately agreed, and rushed into the night with great strides, chasing after Yang Zaixing who had already set off to send the order.

Hearing the sound of the drums in the Skeleton Army barracks, Ding Pei couldn't help feeling anxious. He didn't expect the Skeleton Army to react so quickly and start beating drums to gather soldiers and horses so quickly, and now they are still a long way from the pier , If the other party's soldiers and horses are called together, these unarmed prisoners of war will face the fierce skeleton generals, it will be completely over, so they sprinted, waving the sword in their hands and shouting loudly: " Hurry up, brothers! If we are late, we will have no chance!"

In fact, there is no need for him to call. These Annan prisoners of war have already heard the sound of war drums from the barracks in the distance. The riot was completely over, so there was no need for Ding Pei to instigate anything. These prisoners of war had already used up all their breastfeeding strength, spread their legs, and rushed towards the pier like flying.

But no matter how hard they tried to run, they were still one step too late. When they were about to reach the pier, a well-equipped army and horses appeared in front of them, lined up in a neat square formation, quietly lying in front of them. Under the light ball torches, the weapons in their hands shone with cold light.

The head of a young warrior looked at them coldly, his face sank like water, so these prisoners of war who were rushing suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, and they all stopped involuntarily. Even the few leaders headed by Ding Pei also They all stopped.

Ding Pei looked desperately at the soldiers and horses lying between them and the pier, knowing that their efforts had completely failed today. He did not expect the skeleton army to react so quickly. They started the incident late at night just to take advantage of them When he was asleep, he couldn't react for a while, and then he rushed to the pier in one go, grabbed a few boats and went to sea, but he obviously underestimated the ability of the skeleton army, and the other party's quick reaction was far beyond his expectations. Before the pier, he stopped them, looking at the ragged prisoners of war behind him, and looking at the skeleton soldiers in bright armor on the opposite side, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

As the chief culprit of the riot, he knew that he would definitely die, so he took a deep breath, then strode out of the crowd, and came to the front of the two armies with a bloody sword in his hand (if the prisoners behind him If it is still an army), he shouted loudly at the leader of the Skeleton Army sitting on the horse opposite him: "I am Ding Pei, the captain of the Annan Water Army, and I instigated what happened today. Ding does not ask for your forgiveness." , I just want to fight and die here like a man!"

Yang Zaixing stared coldly at the Annan man in front of him. Hearing the translation of the man's words by an interpreter who understood Annan's dialect behind him, he slowly raised the gun in his hand, pointed the tip of the gun at the Annan man in front of him and said in a cold voice: "Damn you! All of you should die! Since you asked for a fight, I will grant you what you wish!"

The interpreter immediately translated to Ding Pei loudly in Annan dialect, and Ding Pei's face suddenly turned pale. At this moment, he suddenly regretted that if it wasn't for his encouragement, the Annan soldiers behind him would not live as they wished. , but it does not mean that he must die, but it is too late for him to regret now, he slowly raised the saber in his hand, and said to the general of the skeleton army opposite: "This incident was caused by me alone, and it is my fault alone. I hope the general will spare these brothers behind me!"

The interpreter quickly translated his words to Yang Zaixing. Yang Zaixing sneered and raised the big gun in his hand and said, "You beat this gun in my hand, and everyone will be spared from death!"

The interpreter translated his words to Ding Pei again. Ding Pei knew that it would be useless to talk too much, so he took a deep breath and clenched the handle of the knife and shouted, "Come on!"

Yang Zaixing put his legs between the horse's belly, and the horse immediately rushed towards the man opposite. Yang Zaixing dragged the silver spear backwards with the point of the gun pointing down, and leaned forward, adjusting his body and the horse's running rhythm as one. Like a sharp arrow, he rushed straight towards Ding Pei.

Looking at the skeleton army general who was rushing towards him, Ding Pei's eyes and pupils suddenly tightened, he leaned forward, shouted loudly and rushed towards Yang Zaixing...

In just one round, when Yang Zaixing reined in his horse, Ding Pei's body fell heavily from the air to the ground, a hole the size of a bowl appeared in his chest, blood gushed out from the wound, and his legs shook feebly After a few strokes, there was complete silence, and only then did a war knife fall from the air to the ground with a clang.

In the dark night, no one saw how Yang Zaixing shot Ding Pei away, but all Annan people were stunned by Yang Zaixing's swiftness and ferocity. Yang Zaixing, who was immediately in front of the two armies, was like a god of death in their eyes. The majesty makes people dare not look directly. I don't know that the Annan man dropped the wooden stick in his hand first, and slowly knelt down on the ground and made a begging sound. Then someone knelt down and dropped the wooden stick in his hand. Or weapons, weeping softly, so more and more prisoners of war began to throw away guys and fell to their knees on the ground. Now they have completely regretted it. Now they don't want any freedom anymore, they just want to keep this life Well, they don't want to become a dead body like that Ding Pei lying on the ground. Living has become their greatest luxury.

But there are still a few Annan people who did not kneel down and beg for mercy, and looked angrily at the robes kneeling next to them, yelling at them angrily, trying to encourage them to stand up and fight to the death with the skeleton army on the opposite side, but no matter how much they yelled and scolded, these have been lost The confident Annan prisoners had no fighting spirit. They just kowtowed and begged for mercy. There was no way for these Annan people who refused to put down their weapons. In the end, these people transferred all their anger to the skeleton army on the opposite side. Under the leadership of several officers, they let out a roar, then raised their sticks or seized weapons, roared and rushed towards Yang Zaixing and the others.

A trace of unbearableness flashed across Yang Zaixing's eyes, he raised the long spear in his hand, then swung it down forcefully and shouted: "Let the arrow..."

Suddenly, there was a buzzing in the night sky, and when they came together, there was a roar. A black shadow appeared in the night, and then it fell on these Annan prisoners of war like a hailstone. The black arrow feathers fell on the Annan prisoners in an instant. There was a fog of blood, whether it was the running Annan people or those kneeling Annan people were hit by the rain of arrows that fell instantly, and then there was a sound of mourning...

After the daylight came out, there was no sound of shouting and killing on the island, only the helpless wailing of the wounded in the morning light. On the road leading to the pier, there were more than 1000 dead bodies of prisoners of war scattered densely. The blood that flowed out had already soaked the ground, emitting a disgusting smell of blood. Some soldiers of the Black Armored Fubo Army searched for the wounded who were still alive among the corpses, and then stabbed them down with their three-edged spears. , the wounded who hadn't breathed out spewed out a fountain of blood again, and then fell completely silent. Some infantry troops lined up to search the island, and drove out the Annan prisoners who had been hiding in the dark like rabbits one by one, and then sent them to the island. They killed them one by one, without any mercy or sympathy, until they killed all the Annans who participated in the rebellion on the island.

Then the Fubo army will surround the entire prisoner-of-war camp and begin to count the remaining prisoners of war here. There are still hundreds of Annan's soldiers and captured civilians who did not dare to rebel. They are looking at the surrounding people in horror The generals of the Skeleton Army, who had already been frightened out of their wits, gathered together and knelt down, begging for mercy non-stop.

Xu Yi brought the generals to these people, looked at them coldly and said, "Very good! It's good that you didn't participate in the riot last night! You don't have to die, as long as you listen to us, you can live. This time is just a lesson, if anyone dares to make trouble in the future, you will all die! Did you hear that?"

The interpreter immediately translated Xu Yi's words aloud to these Annan people. When they learned that they did not have to die, many of them couldn't help crying. They were glad that they were timid last night and did not dare to follow the decision to rush out of the prisoner-of-war camp.

After Xu Yi looked contemptuously at these Annan people who had already been terrified, he turned and left the prisoner-of-war camp. Yang Zaixing led his subordinates to drive these Annan people to the scene of the massacre last night, and let them, the living ones, start to collect them all. Then they dragged these corpses to a cliff, and threw them all into the rough sea below. They didn't even dig a hole to bury them, so as not to cause any plague because so many corpses stink on the island. .

It took a whole day to clean up these corpses, and the remaining soldiers and Annan civilians had already been shocked. Although they looked at the corpses of their comrades who worked together yesterday, they did not dare to show the slightest anger. With a look of sadness on his face, he silently dragged them away one by one according to the requirements of the Fubo Army, and then threw them from the cliff into the sea to feed the fish. In the end, the few people couldn't bear the pressure of such fear and went completely crazy. A man shouted frantically and jumped from the cliff into the sea full of floating corpses below, while the other walked towards the Fubo soldiers who were guarding them with a smirk. After being stopped, a long gun immediately It stabbed into his chest and took away his life. The rest of the soldiers and civilians were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy...

Yang Zaixing knelt down on one knee behind Xu Yishuai's case and pleaded guilty: "What happened last night was due to the general's negligence, and his carelessness almost caused a catastrophe. Please punish me, my lord!"

Xu Yi turned around from behind the handsome case, stretched out his hands to support Yang Zaixing and said, "Zaixing don't have to feel guilty, we didn't expect such a thing, although you were at fault first, but you can't blame it all, and you infantry Responding in a timely manner last night, these Annan prisoners of war did not cause a catastrophe, which is enough to make up for their crimes. If the merits and demerits of this matter are equal, let it go. It is just that we must pay special attention to the movement of the prisoners in the future. Now we have found out yesterday. Is it too late for our loss?"

Yang Zaixing replied with a face of shame: "The humble official has already checked. Last night, the captives rioted, and we lost a total of 37 brothers! These brothers died because of the negligence of the last general. Please punish the master! Strict military discipline! Zaixing made a mistake, so we cannot escape punishment for it!" Yang Zaixing insisted

Xu Yi sighed silently, and ordered: "In this case! Then you will be fined to bring twenty army sticks yourself, but we are now in a big battle, so I will write down these twenty army sticks for the time being. After this battle is over, we will go Punishment, you just have to pay special attention in the future! And these brothers have behaved very well, you wait for me to collect their remains, incinerate them on the spot, and take their bones back for burial!"

Everyone was in awe when they heard Yang Zaixing's integrity, they all admired Yang Zaixing's integrity, they all secretly raised their thumbs and thought to themselves, what a real man!

Yang Zaixing bowed in answer, then turned around and went out to arrange the matter. Suddenly there was a sound of horns on the pier outside, and soon an orderly rushed into the big tent and said loudly: " My lord, there is a fleet of ships coming from the sea outside, it is our fleet, and now it is about to reach the island, please tell me clearly, my lord!"

Xu Yi was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately smiled and said, "Our reinforcements are coming soon! Brothers, follow me to the pier to see who is coming this time!"

After hearing this, all the generals were overjoyed, and followed Xu Yi to the pier quickly. Xu Yi boarded the Pioneer and ordered the anchor to set sail to meet him. He had been waiting for this fleet for a while. When the Pioneer sailed out of the harbor, he met everyone. Seeing a fleet flying their unique black skull flag high, they were heading towards Mae Island under the leadership of a sentinel boat. When they saw the leading warship, everyone couldn't help showing surprise Xu Yi laughed out loud.

(Today is May 5th, and it is also a day that Chinese people remember. One year ago today, the sudden earthquake brought us Chinese people together like never before. How many touching things happened in it, I am afraid that my friends still don’t know. It is vivid in my memory, and I would like to express my condolences to those compatriots who unfortunately died in the earthquake! Let us all extend our hands to help those who lost everything in this disaster! Even if it is only one yuan, it is our heart! )
